Everybody says they hate him, yet he has 1.6 million Twitter followers and hosts one of the most popular and well known shows on ESPN. What gives? My theory is that hating on Skip Bayless has become the cool thing to do and there really is a lot of closet Baylees fans.

Bayless is a professional troll, paid to rustle the jimmies of people dumb enough to be offended by the outlandish crap he says.


I don't pay attention to him, so I'm indifferent

To me, he's Madonna. Old, and trying to stay relevant by doing stupid sh#t. And I don't listen to his music.

He's a professional troll. He's got a great gig.

What's interesting is that back in the day he was an excellent sports writer. But all sports writers on ESPN were at one point excellent sports writers. The get on TV and have to play a role, and Bayless's roll is to troll.

This is an insult to Nickelback (and no, I do not like Nickelback).

It is hard to believe that he used to be a very legit sportswriter.

People love to hate the guy like LeBron. Hating on the dude (even if justified) is definitely the cool thing to do..

Anyone who really takes him seriously probably thinks the kardashians show isn't staged at all
